I am in a Middle School, and we print a copy of all over-dues, to post on the wall 
in various locations, each morning. Students who have over-dues that are over a 
week old are sent a daily notice requiring them to come to the library for lunch 
detention each day until the book is returned or paid for. If they pay for a book, 
then find it at a later date, we return their money. 
This was the procedure that was in place when I came here two years ago, and it 
seems to be working. We had no outstanding books at the end of the year last year, 
and our circulation has not slowed down at all.

I send them out the first school day of each week. Sometimes books
actually come back as a result of my efforts. We don't charge fines, so
students don't feel any obligation to return materials in a timely fashion.
